Niall Thomas Music

Marking his second solo album, singer-songwriter Niall Thomas released Night Sky Blue on 6th April 2018. Following on from his debut release ‘Breathe Easy’ in 2013, the new ten-track album is a delicately refined and crafted collection of work.

“Night Sky Blue is a heart-warming selection of tender songs about daily life, human resilience and love and loss in Dublin’s north inner city…….very pleasing shades of Nick Drake and John Martyn…. a moving paean to Dublin’s fair city, and life itself.”
★★★★ The Irish Times

Niall Thomas asked Bold&Brass to design his website and implement different tweaks to the chosen Wordpress theme.

About Night Sky Blue:

Each song forms a snapshot of time drawn from personal experience and the surroundings in Dublin’s North Inner City, where he has lived for fourteen years. The songs are songs of place and shared experience. They move from licensed premises to coastal waters, hospital waiting rooms to burial grounds, from the invisible ladder through the great divide to the beauty and restorative qualities of nature. They celebrate the unwavering resolve of people to sew what has been torn and mend what’s been broken. Night Sky Blue explores the uncertain and fragile nature of our existence, the brevity of our time, the pressures that become too much for some, the heart ties that bind and sometimes unravel, the darkness and the light.

Recorded in The Guild, Stoneybatter, Dublin with thanks to Karl Odlum, Dave Hingerty, Kevin Murphy, Patrick Daly, Neev Kennedy and Ann Scott who lended their talent, their voices and their musicianship to these songs.

Joining Niall on the tour will be the eminent talents of Dave Hingerty (The Frames, Josh Ritter, Paul Brady) and Karl Odlum (The Mary Janes, Mic Christopher, Gemma Hayes) and a few surprise Guests along the way….
